The study compared the EU countries using five categories: production and consumption; waste management; secondary raw materials; competitiveness and innovation; and ecological sustainability and resilience. Out of the five countries ranked, Spain had the lowest consumption of materials per inhabitant in 2022 at 9.8 tonnes. This was followed by Italy with 12.8 tonnes per inhabitant, then France, Germany and Poland. As well as ranking first overall, Italy came out top in the waste management category. According to the report, the urban waste recycling rate in Italy grew by 3.4 per cent between 2017 and 2022.<\/p>\n<p>The third category looked at the circular material use rate, the ratio of materials recovered and fed back into the economy compared to total materials used by a country. The best performance among the countries analysed was recorded by France (19.3 per cent), despite a drop of 0.2 percentage points compared to 2018. Italy recorded 18.7 per cent, which is high but has remained essentially static in the last five years. Germany came out top in the competitiveness and innovation category with the highest investment in circular economy activities out of the countries studied. When it comes to consumption footprint &#8211; the environmental and climate impacts from the consumption of goods and services- Germany proved to be the most sustainable with a value of 95 compared to France\u2019s 98 and Italy\u2019s 104 &#8211; equal to the EU average in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of annual greenhouse gas emissions from production activities per capita in 2022, France and Spain had the lowest with 4,861 kg CO2 eq. and 4,925 kg CO2 eq. respectively. Over the last five years, all the countries analysed have recorded a decrease in greenhouse gas emissions. Germany ranked first with a 15 per cent decrease followed by Spain with 13 per cent and France with 8.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2024\/05\/14\/italy-france-germany-which-eu-country-has-the-most-environmentally-friendly-economy\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/2-522\/\">Italy, France, Germany: Which EU country has the most environmentally friendly economy?<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1052,367,575],"class_list":["post-130376","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-economy","tag-environment","tag-environmental-news-en"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130376","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=130376"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130376\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=130376"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=130376"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=130376"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
